It surprised me how cheap one can buy a breathalyzer.
If she is willing to use it, that could solve the question of if she is legal to drive or not.

$100 for a breathalyzer, or $10,000 for a DUI. It's up to her.

I would say anything under $75 I wouldn't even bother with. I got a cheap one for around $60, and it works somewhat...but really if you're going to spend the money go ahead and get something decent. A couple of my friends have breathalyzers have the ones below:

Both of them seem to work well. Always keep in mind that if you test right after you have a drink, you're not going to get an accurate reading, and really you still have to use common sense. Although the legal limit is .08 here, I'd say you're really risking it if you drive on .05 or higher. I don't normally bring mine out with me because I don't drink enough to ever have to worry in the first place, but it's still a neat little toy.
Edit: by the way the more you use them, the less accurate they get over time, and you'll eventually have to have it recalibrated. I think the first one I linked to says you can use it about 1,000 times before it needs recalibration.
You could always spend a little bit of money and throw one in your glove box.

I wouldn't rely on a reading from it in court but if it reads under .06 you are probably pretty safe trusting it in a .08 state. I've been looking to get a new one to trow in the glove box. The one I had in college for funzies broke.
